What you might not know is…
Once you open a brand new package of baking powder, it starts breaking down after 3 months. That means you only get about a good 6 months out of your baking powder. I had no idea! I typically buy one maybe once a year. Now I know why sometimes I have an issue with one of my recipes here or there. The one I have noticed a big change with is my sourdough biscuit recipe.
Here’s another thing that has happened to me before I made homemade baking powder. I need baking powder and I ran out of it the last time I baked and didn’t put it on my list! This has happened more than I would like to admit… Now, I know how to make it and that won’t be a problem! I always have baking soda and cream of tartar in my pantry!
Making your own homemade baking powder leaves you in control!
I love how learning how to make these types of staples makes me feel. So much is lost now a days and everyone just uses google. Actually learning how to make something you can use frequently is so important. Especially since we are mainly an ingredient house hold, I want to be able to know how to make homemade baking powder without even thinking about it.
It takes a minute to mix it together and then you are ready to go! You can make as much or as little as you need. On the recipe below you can adjust it to double or triple the recipe if you go through a lot of baking powder.
